Former Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry (R-PA) could lose his seat next month, according to a Sunday report published by Axios.
The staunch conservative, who contributed to Donald Trump's ploy to overturn the 2020 election in the state of Pennsylvania, "has gotten little financial help from GOP leadership so far, with the National Republican Congressional Committee and Congressional Leadership Fund spending effectively nothing on ads in his district as of Saturday," Axios reports.
Meanwhile, according to the report, House members on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and House Majority PAC have either spent or reserved "nearly $3.8 million in ads for" Perry's opponent, former local news anchor Janelle Stelson.
Although GOP strategists don't appear to believe Perry's in danger of losing his seat, Axios notes polling suggests the race is highly competitive, with one recent survey showing Stelson up by 9 percentage points.
Perry's potential fall would come after another Freedom Caucus chair — Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) — lost the state primary to his far-right, Donald Trump-backed opponent in July.
"The only thing Perry cares about is advancing his extreme agenda and his constituents no longer want anything to do with him," DCCC spokesperson Aidan Johnson told Axios.
